  1. Work burnout

    I'm going on my second year in the vinyl printing business with things only getting busier. Which is great, however I'm finding myself getting completely burnt out mentally and somewhat physically. I find I can't say no to a job, I've been working 7 days a week 10-11hr days average for the last...
  2. Need Help Summa S2T160 not reckognizing regmarks on reflective material

    I've run into the many times. Calibration of media is first, I haven't found any it won't calibrate yet. However it might still have a hard time reading and what I did was to have small strips I printed on clear vinyl with yellow only. These should be cut just wide enough to fit over the OPOS...

  4. Semi-Rigid Vinyl options

    I do a lot of short run custom cut labels on vinyl and I laminate most because I find 3mil vinyl is just very flimsy and difficult to deal with at times for labeling. Are there any other semi-rigid vinyls in a thinner thickness other than the 6mil General Formulations, Briteline and Oracal...
  5. Reflective Sticker Vinyl 30"

    I've had a lot of success with Griff Fantasy Film Silver Oil Slick, however it's been very hard to find since covid.

  7. Efficiency and equipment upgrades

    I've just got a D140, the basics as it was my first cutter. I can get it to do full cuts it's just not ideal. If I could afford a flatbed I certainly would be looking at them.
  8. Efficiency and equipment upgrades

    My business has steadily increased over the last year and I'm finding it a little harder to keep up at times when I've got a full schedule. I do a lot of die cut stickers (full cuts through the backer) on my summa (two-pass process) I also do a lot of smaller kiss cut sheets of stickers and...
  9. Labels for Packaging

    I do a lot of short to medium run stuff like this. I try and keep my vinyl orders 10k and under, average is 1k-2k usually. Everything I do is for manual application so I generally do sheets of multiple up, around 8.5"x 11". I don't have a lot of automation on my end which would help in...
  10. Suggestions Labels and material assistance

    I do a lot of short-run labels and recently I've been having a lot of labels with a perforation in them, to act as a safety seal on a product. However unlaminated I find it's just a bit too thin for people and I also feel like 3.4mil is a bit thin for labels on vinyl. I've used 6mil General...
  11. Summa D140 - Irregular Cutting

    Maybe if the start point was different possibly? Not really sure what determines the start points in the cut path. Yeah I've got no issues with complex shapes. Maybe I'll try doing 45 deg as I've got to reprint some of them. I think I know what you mean...in that last part...just having an...
  12. Summa D140 - Irregular Cutting

    I'm not doing Flexcuts but it it pushing to cut that side. Guessing that is the issue? that it's pushing the cut instead of pulling it.
  13. Summa D140 - Irregular Cutting

    I cannot add any more pinch rollers to the model i have. It's not an option on the base models.
  14. Summa D140 - Irregular Cutting

    I don't think I'll ever understand why this cutter cuts the way it does. Squares are difficult for it to cut...Top, bottom and right of the stickers are cut fine but the left side never cuts as deep as the other 3 sides. Even when I do the pressure test the left side of the square is always not...
  15. Suggestions New Laminator Suggestions 55"+

    Yeah I'm going to refeed it and reset the tension on it to see if I can smooth out the "waves". I just never knew these were crowned and neither did the tech, which means I have no teach to even service this at all. I do have new pressure springs if I need to put some of those in. I'll start...
  16. Need Help Can't Connect To Epson S40600

    All I had to do was set a static IP for my Ethernet. My internet is wireless so it didn't have any affect on that.
  17. Suggestions New Laminator Suggestions 55"+

    The laminate will sometimes get waves when it's coming off the roll, and I'm thinking some of my cutting issues are because of this. I've noticed the cuts aren't cut as deep on the outer edges. Something I didn't know....I do know that one side was higher than the other but the tech measured...
  18. Suggestions New Laminator Suggestions 55"+

    It's going to be time for a new laminator. Had a tech come in a check out the rollers on my laminator and found they are warped, but in a way I wouldn't have expected. The center is tight and the outer edges are the spots with lower pressure. Anyways...it's not worth buying a set of rollers @...
